Blue Striped Mani

Lately I'm really into nail art as you probably noticed, and today I'm having a striped mani. It's lovely weather here so I picked some light colors to go with it.
I used OPI What's With The Cattitude? as base, then I made a stripe with H&M Blue and on top of that I made a small stripe with Essence Forever Mine. I used tape for the stripes but some were a bit too small so I polished those a bit wider without tape (I didn't have enough patience to redo the tape, lol). After that I added the rhinestones and top coat. I think I'll do this one more often :)



Take care!

  8. Thanks for commenting all :)

    @Kayleigh, haha blueautiful, nice find ^^

    @(♥♥♥♥♥) Minty, I'm pretty pleased with these colors combined as well :)

    @ABOP (laquerlove on MUA), I agree, the rhinestones really were the finishing touch, too bad I have loads of them but not so many square shaped ones, lol.

    @Lacquer Ware for Tips and Toes, I'll try it in some other colors soon too, think that'll look nice as well!

    @pkbmum, I think that spring gives nice options with the light colors, it's indeed fresh :)

    @nicnacksnails, I haven't used Cattitude so much yet but with this it just really worked :) You can always do it with other colors as well!

    @priemgirl, luckily they're cheap, in most stores you get loads for little =)

    @S., I hope the weather keeps going like this, to match with these kinda manis :)

  9. Woah, that's cool. It has this similar effect when you accidently save your image under 256 color bitmap. LOL

  10. Really cool combo! I love how the shine in your first picture looks like another color stripe.

  11. Really cool!! And you must have a really steady hand since I can´t even see flaws where you did them without tape.
